The present invention is shown and Will be described 'as applied to cash registers of the two motion type in which the various operations are controlled from hanlrs of ireys'hut are eiiected by other driving mechanism. A show-ing and description of varions parts o' cash registers of this type,

the indicating mechanism. is deemed unnecessary to an understanding of the present .invention and will he omitted for the salie A cliect of; the operator. The frame ci the machine which directly indirectly supports the 'various parte is composed of two similarly designed ,end pieces, the left hand one of which isindicated'at 2 in Fig. 3, and longitudinallyv extending members connecting than. These end pieces of the frame aided in some instances hy the. auxiliary frame 3 intermediate the end trames form supports for the shafts and other meinhers extending longitudinally through the afoove9 the machine is of the two type. To operate it enter a trans action the amount he up through the rnourritkeys, a 'bank of which is shown c l Q; indicated hy reference the special keys inmust ce depressed. of the amount and ete the operation of handle 6 must' he through gear e actuator and rivera totalizers i'or operation.

The actuator gears for like denominations are connected for simultaneous rotation only one of these of like denomination being actuated directly from the diierential mechanism, this one being the units actuator gear for the right pair of totalizers, the tens actuator gear tor the second pair of totalizers, the hundreds for the third pair and the thousands and tens of thousands actuators for .the left hand pair of tota-lizers, or if iive totalizers in a row are desired the tens of thousands actuator of the totalizer farthest to the left will be directly connected withits differential mechanism.

' Referring to Figs. l, 2, and 11, the shaft 9 loosely carries the four sets l0, 411, 12 and 13 ot actuator gears. Each of the units actuator gears of these sets meshes With the corresponding one of four pnions 11i rigid yith shai't l5 supported by the two end trames or the machine. The tens, hundreds, thousands and tens or" thousands actuator gears similarlj,7 mesh respectively with pinions i6 on shaft i7, pinions 18 on shaft 19, pinions 2G on shaft 21 and pinions 22 on shaft 23. i' this Way all of the corresponding actuator gears are simultaneously rotated and to the same extent. As Stated above, the iront row of totalizersc do not mesh dire "ly with the actuator gears but are actur Led therefromthrcugh pinions 24 loose on t 25 which'ar'e always in mesh with their corresponding actuator gears and are diilerentially moved in accordance with 'the diilerential movement of the latter. Eiiierential movement of the actuator gears will, hy roel-:ing either of the rear totalizersA into meshwith them or either' or" the forward ones into mesh with the pinions 24, be communicated to the desired totalizer.

The actuator gears are given their difierentiai movement in a positive manner. The extent of this movement is controlled by the amount lrejvs s'- but their movement is positively,T effected i om an operation of the oranti handle. series olevers 26, one for each bank amount keys, are given an invariahie movement at one end at each operation oi the machine hy a yoke 27 oscillated the shaft l).

To prevent the depression of more than one key in a single bank av device well known in the art isused, which need not, it is thought, be speeiically described. Tl is comprises briefly a series'of olates 72 p 1.'- oted to the guide 6G above re erred to, ox l two of which at one time may be separate suiiciently to allow the right ends of pins 69 on the keys to pass between there.

As stated above, there are shown in the drawings two rows of four totalizers each, the totalizers of the row .nearest the front adapted to mesh with pinions 24, loosely carried by shaft 25 and which are diflien entially rotated with the dilerential rotation of the actuator gears, and the row of totalizers nearest the rear adapted to mesh directly with the actuator ,fears to receir differential movement. The number f totalizers can readilybe increaset if desir'ed by merely extending? the arrangeine to cover more than two rows totaliaers, or to provide more totalizers in one The principles of this invention need be departed from to do this, the embodiment shown being merely illustrative in this respect. Two shafts 73 and Ze n the end frames of the machine.l 1 loosely carries the *four alined totalizer frames F5 row of totalizers and the latter similarly surL ports the rear row oli totaliaer frames ll). These pivotally mounted frames *i5 are alike in construction and but one needs to be, it is believed, specifically referred to, rlhis is also true of the transfer mechanisms for the various totalizers and substantially true of the totalizer selecting mechanism In describing these parte the rear row totalizers will he more particularly to, the mhainldier'ence between the two being that the rear row is actuated d'. y 'from the actuator gears while the totalizers of the front row mesh with idle pinions on shaft 25 which pinions are driven from the actuator gears. Another distinction though not of inpoitancea is the difference of direction in which the two rows of totalizers rock, d e to their location with respect their actuators. The real are rocxed forwardly to engage their actuatm's7 while the liront totalizers rock rear. l" for this purpose.

Each of these totaliaer frames 75, relecl t. Fics '7 and ed on shaft S8 carried by the\raine o the' machine. the other amos of which leversl are connected at 89 with the short longitudinally shiiitable bars 90. There are, of course, four of the long longitudinally shitable bars 85 connected with the rear totalizers andthe same number of shorter ones 90 coii-nected with the front totalizers through the above connections. Shifting either of thesebars upwardly then, it is clear, will rock-'lts corf responding totalizer into mesh with its dif-' erential mechanism.

This transferring movement of the segment is iii c conn.- ter-clockwise direction in the showing at the right in Fig. 'i' which is the mechenism for one of the rear totalizers. Previous to the rotation of the cem shaft 142 the selected totalizer frame has been rocked hy the shaft 92 to rock the totelizer out of engagement .with the actuator gear and to return it to its normal position in engagement with the transfer segment. The transverse member 107 1s notched at 145 so as to serve es guides for'the upivarclly projecting portions 146 of thetransfer segments. Transverse members 77 and78 are similarly notched to guide the tripping pwls at the front and beck respectively, end member 109 similarly serves to guide the lower ends of the arms 124.

The shafts 113 and 112 :.re rotated from the cli-ive shaft D of the machine by means of a. cam 156 having in one side e cam groove 15'? in which plays a roller 158 car ried by an arm 159 mounted on sli-.itt 166. This arm 159 is pivotally connected between the roller 158 and shaft 160 et 161 with e link 162, the other ends of which is connecteci at 163 with an arm 164 rigid with shaft 113, as shown in Fig. 3.
